. they were a recipe for recession. it would "destroy jobs" and undermine america's international competitiveness. obviously since republicans are geniuses that's what happened, right? wrong again. here's what happened in reality. we created 22.7 million jobs, 21% increase in wages. and by the way, they were a million% wrong on the deficit. it balanced the budget. not only balanced the budget, it gave us a $236 billion surplus. how do you like that for results? and that's what happened the last time we raised taxes on the upper bracket. so when they tell you the same old lies this time around, there is absolutely no reason to believe it. in fact, there is overwhelming evidence against it. so undeterred, they of course go on none the less. if you're not convinced let me give you more evidence. look at this chart that i'm going to show you. this is economic growth. in 1991, george h.w. bush does a tax increase. obviously it's going to go down. let's see what happens. >> whoa. >> wait a minute, economic activity and the economy boomed. clinton in 1993 did another tax increase. then i

in australia are state laws as they mainly are in america, and the national government does not have the power to make national laws. we needed the state laws to all change to be uniform at a very high standard. as a result of those changes has been that levels of gun deaths in australia are now half of what they were before, and we've not had a mass shooting in all of that time in the last 16 years. so the laws are a resounding success. yet, australia still has hunting, we still win medals in shooting at the olympics. masculinity in australia has not diminished. [ laughing ] we still have freedom. it's possible to have hunting sport, freedom and safety. when we see what has happened in america especially now that's what we are all hoping that some how america would look around and see that it is possible to fix the laws to get a higher standard of safety, and it doesn't mean that you lose all your freedom. >> cenk: let me quickly show the audience some amazing numbers. the days for australia to pass the new law? 12 days. you know how we say not now--12 days it took them to pass the law. numbe

? of course not. now what is the reality in america? get ahold of this chart. chart of the day. all the lines on the bottom, that's the rest of the worlds, all the lines representing those countries. these are assaults for 100,000 people. see the one off the chart? can you guess what country that is? if you guess finland, you are wrong. we're number one. we're the most violent yes and guns allow that. but after killings from guns, never say a word about it. it's amazing how the n ra has the entire conservative media politicians, etc. to basically work for gun manufacturers in this country. when you look at it state by state we'll show you this incredibly confusing map you will not be able to decipher. the more gun control laws states have, the less violence they have. shocking. that's the most obvious thing in the world unless you mention it in a public sphere. how could you after a tragedy involving guns, how could you talk about guns? that's because they want you to avoid the topic when we might actually do something about it. let me bring in dave, who talks about politics for sports. he wr

is not concerned about protecting the interests of manufacturers of guns and ammunition in china only in america. i'm not an anti-gun, anticipate second amendment person. i passed a bill 20 years ago that was a responsible bill. i think people have a right to own guns and rifles, but not assault weapons not multi magazines with all these 30 bullets at a time that is only used for assaults on individuals to human beings. i think there need to be strong mental health laws and mental health tests for standards on who can get a license and who can buy a gun. everybody who buys a gun should be checked. i give a "f" to the nra now. at one time they liked me. they give me an "f"? i'm proud to have an "f." >> cenk: that's great. congressman cohen i want to show a member of congress that feels different. congresswoman michelle bachmann. let me show you a clip and get your reaction. >> i'm shocked. >> my favorite gun is ar 15 because you can be so accurate, and i scored best in my class of any of the men. >> the ar 15. >> it's a rifle. i love that gun. >> it's a combat weapon. >> i love it. >> it can be made

[ protesting ] >> their shouting was alarming to shoppers and sent managers running for security. >> joe biden went to costco. he wanted to buy some of this stuff. >> cenk: and then later in the show, there is a new member of the 1%, but we're on his side. >> suddenly he begins pumping his arms excitedly he asked the cashier check the ticket for him. >> he wanted everybody to look and check to see that he wasn't seeing things. he wasn't seeing things. it was the right numbers.

the average guy in america even though i have so much more? >> i'm not an economist and i don't engage in that level of detail. first of all i hang out with regular people, not necessarily rich people. i think what some people would say is that capital itself is a driver of progress, and growth and so fort, and so if you tax capital too heavily like in capital gains you actually diminish the potential for investment in new opportunities be they conventional growth opportunities or alternative new investments in alternative energy. so i get both sides of that. and honestly, on the fairness and moral side, that only goes so far, too. what i try to convince people and when you frame it this way pretty much everybody gets it. again, it is not -- i consider myself to be selfish here, at least 50% the other side may be partly moral. i'm selfish because i'm interested in having a good life and i want my kids to have a good life and that depends more than anythingen oh the country and the world that they live in. >> dr. richard rockefeller thank you for joining us. we really appreciate it. >>

in that mission. good morning america has more details. >> the team moved in by helicopter in darkness when it became clear that dr. joseph was in immanent danger or may be moved to afghanistan. they tracked the american in the mountains of eastern afghanistan where they had hidden joseph among some small huts. a fire fight broke out as soon as the special forces team arrived. several of the taliban captures were killed, but that is when the navy seal was believed to be hit as well. wounds that later proved fatal. >> cenk: now we've got lizzie moran with us. a former c.i.a. officer and author of "blowing my cover my life as a spy." i want to ask you about this operation. it's tragic, of course, that one of our guys lost his life, but i think that we should have more operations like this. i think that it's much more justifiable when we bring guys down on the ground, and instead of killing discriminately we target and in this case there was a hostage we needed to get out. how often do missions like go down. >> we see them increasingly because we're fighting a much different war than the c.i.a
